whether it be asians, african-americans, women, gay people. and so that's where the republican party needs to go. what makes i think colin powell's comment so effective is he doesn't often speak about race. in 2008 he did endorse president obama and he dressed at that point what were these rumors about then candidate obama's faith. these rumors that he was muslim. and he in a very powerful statement, he said he isn't muslim, he's in fact a christian, but what if he were? it wouldn't matter. we're a pluralistic society that believes in tolerance. and i think that's why it was so effective, those comments that he made this morning. i think they're going to reverberate in the party. and you do have in the republican party people having these conversations already. they very much looked at this last election and see it as a referendum on their party and this underpinning issue around diversity and expanding the party. >> you're a democrat, doug. i want you to weigh in on these comments from that perspective. whether there's a political calculation
